My taxes actually went down 2005 to 2009 and I added a room.
I am still $100 less than I was in 2005
I am sure they will catch up tho.
just before the Prop. 13 vote, I got my tax bill. Different house. the
house I paid $25000 for in 1969 and had a tax burden of $240, had a tax
bill for $1900 9 years later. The county bragged about lowering the tax
rate. Went from $14.01 a hundred to $13.99 a hundred. They taxed you
on 25% of the assesed valuation. Lower the tax rate 2 cents and raised
the average county wide valuation 15%. Sort of like the Federal
government now. Except not living within your means, just said take all
the money we could ever want to spend from the taxpayers.
In 2005 I paid $1649.30 This year it is $1,598.52 so it is really
about $50 less.
Considering I added another room bumped out the screen cage and added
a carport since then that is not bad.
Because they lowered the tax rate, or the value of your house went down?
